OpenAI is now one of the world’s most talked-about companies, and the ongoing legal spat between co-founders Elon Musk and Sam Altman has resulted in some truly juicy revelations around exactly what was going on in the firm’s earliest years. One example: it turns out Gabe Newell gave the company over $20 million, and was…

I always try to keep an open mind when playing unfinished games and ones that are slow to start: even when it’s just not clicking for me, I’m looking for how it could improve or what about it might be more to someone else’s tastes. Then I’ll play something like Metamorphosis, whose demo is available…

After dominating the Steam Next Fest in February, the robot wizard cowboy shooter Far Far West is now out on Steam, and it’s a hit. So much of a hit, in fact, that the servers are struggling—with confusion. The issue doesn’t appear to be one of simple capacity, based on a Steam update from developer…

I played a good few hours of 007 First Light last week, and I encourage you to click that link and read all about what I thought of them. But my time with Jim Bond sparked other thoughts. Thoughts that probably don’t belong in a preview. Thoughts like: What if James Bond just shouldn’t be…

The narrative FPS Industria 2 caught my eye in 2024 with a creepy trailer that gave me serious Half-Life 2 vibes. Set years after the original game, it tells the story of a woman trapped in a rather awful parallel dimension that’s being ravaged by an out-of-control artificial intelligence. It looks and sounds very cool,…

Hey, it’s mryeester again. We’ve covered this particular YouTuber’s attempts to build an infinite ice-based CPU cooler, and edible thermal paste. The PC prankster has upped their game this time, though, as they’ve now figured out a way to cool a CPU with dry ice, regular ice’s even cooler cousin. Sort of. Anyway, it turns…

There’s a good argument to be made that 1440p webcams are almost as niche as 4K ones. A webcam has a specific purpose (fitting on your monitor and letting your meeting participants/gamer buddies see you), and if you end up paying enough, it almost just makes sense to go for something dedicated instead. At least…

The first few months of 2026 were a little slow for new game releases, but I find myself saddled with a bit of indecision anxiety as I look at the schedule for May. While I’m not much of a Forza or Hitman player myself, those are the two big releases that have my colleagues really…

I’m dating myself here, but the operating systems I remember most clearly banging my head against in my youth were Windows 95 and Windows XP. Obviously, plenty of computer interface history predates the panel-style design we’re so familiar with now, and Microsoft has announced fresh efforts to preserve this. Microsoft has shared the source code…

The winter doldrums are officially over and the cozy games release calendar is showing signs of serious spring downpour. I’m tracking a total of 27 swell-looking cozy games this month and, as always, that’s definitely not everything that’s out there. You can’t blame me for missing a hidden object game or two when those things…
